Vienna’s child and youth welfare department has published the concept for the city’s “time-out group home,” a facility intended for children who have repeatedly committed serious offenses.
The department, known as MA 11, released the concept from May on Monday morning. The group home had begun operating almost two months earlier, amid an ongoing public debate about its purpose and structure.
A version of the concept from July had recently come under criticism. Experts had called for the document to be made public and demanded full transparency about the facility.
